I don't get the logic in this...  :I

Supposed to break the noodles in half and drop them in the water. :I That way they're completely submerged.

But yesh, noodles can burn. There's a ramen box thing you can get called Yakisoba, and the instructions specifically say that if you don't pour the water to the fill line, your noodles might ignite and burn. They're delicious, so it's worth the risk.

My friend was making a salad in school. He had to put some vinegar to it.


He mixed teaspoon and tablespoon.

Those are some pretty awesome mishaps.

One time in 6th grade my class was on an overnight field trip to live on an old ship for the duration. It went fine for my class, but as for the other class going on that trip, one of the guys assigned to make breakfast in the galley was apparently not too experienced in cooking. He was supposed to put salt in the stew he was making.

He mixed teaspoon and cup.

I once managed to get a pudding with a gooey inside.

I mixed up! It was supposed to be fully solid. I put about a whole bottle of milk into it...

So, that's how I managed that one...  >:/

I once tried making French Toast with that... Horrible diet bread because there was no other bread.

The resulting... Stuff... Looked like and tasted like pancakes, sweet, sweet pancakes. :P

And...

I once tried making rice, nothing special. I added so much stuff and I cooked it in such a way, that I got myself a fine Risotto. :]

I cooked a frozen pizza once

Forgot to take the cardboard off the bottom

I'm surprised it didn't catch fire, but the crust didn't cook at all.
I also tried cooking chicken wings in the microwave.  Not recommended.
Oh, and the time I tried reheating my Tim Hortons coffee and burned the cup.  That was a joy.

I'm a man living by myself so i'll likely come up with a few more of these.. X3

Cooking frozen hot wings in the microwave is sooo much lower quality. Most of the time, they're slimier if you cook them in the microwave rather than the oven.

Always have your pizza sitting on top of something, not just right on top of the bars of the rack in your oven. The pizza can sink through the bars and make a gooey mess in your oven. Seen it on the internet a few times.

I've burnt hot chocolate and tv dinners because a family member put our microwave's voltage to max which lowers the time needed to microwave stuff safely.

how did you manage to set spagetti on fire  o_o ?

If the Yakisoba ramen is any clue, I'm guessing that dry noodles will ignite when exposed to excessive heat.

It does, doesn't it?

I once burned toast in a toaster. We needed to buy a new toaster after that mishap.

I once reheated a lasanga I made in the microwave. All of a sudden I hear a loud pop noise and the whole inside of the microwave is covered in lasagna. I still to this day haven't figured out how it happened but my guess is some airpocket.

Oh yeah, if you cook hot dogs in a microwave, make sure to stab them a few times with a fork. If you don't put holes in them, they'll explode.

That actually almost happened to me when I was cooking a corn dog once.  :I It didn't explode but it did mess up the corn dog.

I once left a cookie in the microwave I was reheating it so it would be soft and gooey again turns out I left it in for too long because I got distracted and the smoke alarms started going off there was no fire just a smokey cookie.  ovO

My cooking turns out good usually 70% of the time the other 30% can sometimes have odd results.

I am still laughing at the image in my head of this.

I just... I don't... this forum.


My brother and I made bannock, which is campfire bread, from this freaking gross-flank pancake mix. Was horrid. Then we cut holes in apples, filled it woth maple syrup, and roasted them on a stick. Delicious.
